<p>Which prep books do you think have the most accurate practice tests? (Excluding, of course, the Blue Book.)</p>

<p>i have to say PR and i think many will accede.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response!</p>

<p>How is McGraw-Hill for practice tests? How about Gruber’s? My instinct tells me that Kaplan is awful, and Barron’s is hardly even a prep book for the SAT so much as it is a prep book for some monster…</p>

<p>Personally I rely solely on the Blue Book + official Collegeboard practice tests from previous years which are found here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/766525-official-sat-practice-booklets-past-current.html#post1063114942[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/766525-official-sat-practice-booklets-past-current.html#post1063114942&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^ I’ve exhausted the Blue Book. I actually just got deferred from Yale, and I’m looking to retake the SAT in January to boost my 2260 (the only part of my application I was worried about).</p>

<p>What were your subscores?</p>

<p>For example: My first time I got Math-800, Writing-760, Reading-690. In a case like this, it’d be a total waste to work on math (and for me personally, writing), so I focused on reading for my December SAT.</p>

<p>I got a 770 CR, 760 M, and a 730 W.</p>

<p>It’s actually a really annoying situation, because in CR, I missed two questions (both of which were “easy,” no idea how that happened) and in math I missed one (also “easy”). I make stupid mistakes when I take the test, and so my goal is really to just practice until I focus more on the little things to avoid mistakes like these.</p>

<p>For Writing, I scored an 11 and a 10 on the essay. When I did Blue Book practice tests, I would never make more than two mistakes in the writing section, though for some reason I always make more on the real thing (even though I never think the writing section is particularly difficulty…).</p>

<p>The issue with me really isn’t honing my skills in a particular area. It’s more just practicing more until I stop making stupid mistakes.</p>

<p>Anyone ?</p>

<p>Dude, you got a 2260 and you are concerned. Why not improve your GPA or other things. I wish I can get 2260 and I will never sit for this BS exam in my life. What a waste of time to keep retaking this nonsense exam over and over again. Jeez</p>
